The Crew
We are a fun loving, professional and discreet crew. One of our attributes is a canny ability to read the requirements of our charter clients before they need anything, but most importantly, we emphasize the necessity to read how guests wish to be treated, not everyone wants the crew shadowing their every move. We believe in a much more dynamic way of making sure you get the 6 star plus service that you have chartered our yacht for.
